Statutory Instruments
Income Tax (Undistributed Income of Certain
Companies) Regulations, 1974. S.I. No. 329 of
1974.
Under the Finance Act, 1974, sur-tax was abolished
with effect from 1974-75 (section 10) and replaced by
higher rates of income tax (section 3(2)).
Consequently, regulations referring to sur-tax are
no longer appropriate. Such regulations existed in
relation to section 530 of, and Schedule 16 to, the
Income Tax, 1967, which were designed to prevent the
avoidance of sur-tax by the withholding from distribu-
tion of income of certain companies. The present
Regulations, which deal with the serving of notices
for the purpose of these provisions, take account of
the replacement of sur-tax by the higher rates of
income tax.
European
Communities
(Minimum
Stocks
of
Petroleum Oils) Regulations, 1974. S.I. No. 325 of
1974.
These Regulations give effect to Council Directive
of the European Communities of 23rd December, 1968
(68/414/EEC). The Regulations require oil importers
and oil consumers of a specific category to maintain
55 days oil reserves in respect of the categories of
petroleum products to which the Directive applies. The
Regulations provide for the notification by oil
importers and large oil consumers of certain particulars
regarding their stocks, sales and consumpition. There
is also provision for the appointment of
inspectorate to ensure the accuracy of any information
provided.
